Tabouli is a Middle Eastern salad traditionally made with bulgur wheat, fresh chopped cucumber, tomatoes and fresh mint in a tangy lemon-parsley and olive oil dressing. For this healthy whole grain salad recipe we added crumbled feta cheese with a side of warm grilled flatbread. 

Why Try: Exceedingly healthy; amazingly delicious!

Foodie Byte: For a quick and easy lunch, serve chilled tabouli salad topped with a dollop of low-fat cottage cheese.

Ingredients

½ pound uncooked bulgur wheat
1 bunch green onions, chopped
4 cups loosely packed fresh parsley (stems removed)
½ cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves (optional)
¾ cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, seeded, finely chopped
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
As needed- flatbread, warm or grilled

Preparation

Cover bulgur wheat with cold water and soak for 30 minutes; drain thoroughly. Transfer to a large bowl or glass baking dish.
Combine green onions and parsley in food processor bowl fitted with a steel blade; pulse briefly to blend to a coarse chopped consistency.
Add lemon juice, olive oil and salt; pulse until blended; pour parsley mixture over bulgur wheat and toss to blend. Press mixture flat in bowl or baking dish, cover and refrigerate overnight to completely hydrate bulgur wheat and allow flavors to develop.
Add fine chopped cucumber and tomato to salad and toss to blend.
Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over salad and toss to blend.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (if too tangy or dry, add additional olive oil, if too mild add additional lemon juice).
Serve with warm grilled flatbread cut into hearty wedges, if desired

Sheetpan Italian Chicken and Veggie Dinner

Assemble this super easy chicken and vegetable dinner on a sheet pan (or two) and pop it into your oven for a delicious, fuss-free meal. For easy clean-up, line your sheet pan with foil or parchment.

This meal, made with colorful vegetables and boneless skinless chicken thighs (which are much juicier than breasts) are tossed with a simple Italian dressing marinade that can be marinaded ahead and roasted just before dinner. If you want to add grains to your meal, quinoa or brown rice would be a great addition.

What's better than sweet succulent lobster meat lightly tossed with mayo and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, all piled in buttery split-top toasted buns? You just have to indulge in this over-the-top sandwich one last time before summer gives way to autumn. We customized our lobster rolls with crunchy celery and scallions, then finished with a drizzle of warm drawn butter- what could be better!

For added convenience, the lobster filling can be made ahead and held chilled; don’t skip the butter-toasted bun step when assembling lobster rolls as that is key to the recipe.

Ingredients

1 (1-lb.) cooked lobster (about 10-oz. cooked lobster meat)
2 to 4 tbsp. best quality mayonnaise
2 tbsp. finely chopped celery
1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp. finely chopped scallions
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 split-top hot dog buns
2 tbsp. butter
clarified butter, warm, as needed

Preparation

Remove the meat from lobsters; rough chop into large bite-size pieces.
In a bowl, combine lobster meat, mayonnaise, celery, lemon juice, scallions, salt and black pepper; stir to blend.
Using a serrated knife, slice outer edges off each bun; spread butter on cut sides of each roll; toast, butter side down, in a skillet over medium heat for 1 minute on each side, or until golden.
Spoon lobster mixture evenly into toasted buns.
Drizzle lightly with melted butter and dive in!
